We're talking about biology and genes wrt clones here. Crocodile can be both Luffy's mother and his dad at the same time.

But a.) that was called "distorted future" as in that is not her body's resting state b.) big mom is thirty feet tall, not "bulkier" c.) child bonney has zero resemblance to child linlin, the point in a clone's life when they should look most identical. I still like the bonney is a big mom biodaughter theory though.

Big mom had a period of her life, I think when with the Rocks Pirates, where she was shown to be much leaner and more Bonny-like in appearance.

she was always as big as a giant, though. her horrible backstory is based on that fact.

Yeah, and she was still twenty-something feet tall. The youngest we see Linlin is five years old, and even then she's at least twice as big as Bonney.

I don't think the point of the Stussy clone reveal was to cause a big stir about clones - I think the point was to reveal a connection between Vegapunk and the Rocks Pirates.

Yes, but we've seen both as children. Child bonney has zero resemblance to child big mom. Being skinny with huge boobs in their young adult years is something 95% of women in this manga have in common.

And again, I've always liked the theory that they're related. But cloning is a different standard.

Yeah just to be clear the Big Mom clone thing is literally nothing.

I like the idea of them being related, but that's a tenuous link. Eats a lot of food, dresses in pink, has a bad attitude.

I do think, given the relatively recent reveal of the Seraphim and the reveal of Stussy as a clone, there is some intention to make us think about clones. And I think the Weevil theory is an especially strong one which has clues sprinkled throughout the manga.

BUT the idea that we have to go through every character to debate clone status is incredibly stupid, especially when e.g. Bonney explicitly has a drat father to begin with. It reminds me of everyone defaulting to "it was all a dream" for like every "wacky" movie theory; that is really clever and works sometimes but it doesn't mean every time a character falls asleep on screen in any movie that the rest of the movie was a dream.

Oh, definitely. Someone else is gonna be a clone at some point and it'll probably be a big deal. It's just that the fact that the first successful clone person just happened to be a clone of a member of the mysterious villainous crew that seems to be at the center of almost every mystery in the series seems like a bigger deal, to me.
